Dear reader,

welcome to my blog!

My name is Sebastien Soudan. I have a rather technical background (Engineer from Ecole Centrale de Lyon and PhD in CS from ENS de Lyon).
I used to publish research papers on different aspects of network bandwidth sharing but I have been quite quiet for the last few years. During this time, as the CTO of a SaaS start-up and on my (limited) free time, I have had the opportunity to play with a lot of exciting technologies.

Among other things, I have recently rediscovered functional programming — mainly with clojure, haskell and scala — and spent some time on random electronic/DIY
projects. This blog is about my wandering in these worlds.
